I am building this for my son who has taken a liking for wargaming. My cousin Ty, who is known by some here as Tyberius, gave him this tank, some painted soldiers and a complete set of rule books. My son took the parts off the sprue, I assembled it and then primed it. Thanks for looking.

Good start. I built this as a kid in New Guinea. Here's a Japenese contempory in 1:1 I thought I'd inflict on you.

Rabaul, easter 1969. My sister Andrea & I. I still remember climbing inside it.

A great picture Webby. Thanks for showing. Forty years on it is probably a bit more rusted.
